STARTING AND STOPPING

See Figure 8.

  To start the blower, depress the switch trigger.

  To stop the blower, release the switch trigger.

TURBO BOOST BUTTON

See Figure 8.

  While the switch trigger is depressed, press and release 

the turbo boost button to increase the air flow to the 
maximum velocity.

  Press the turbo boost button again to return to the previous 

speed. 

 

NOTE: 

If the turbo boost button is not pressed a 

second time, the blower will run at maximum velocity 
for approximately two minutes and then gradually return 
to the previous speed. The turbo boost can be restarted 
immediately.

OPERATING THE BLOWER

See Figure 9.

NOTICE:

Always operate your product in compliance with all 
applicable laws and ordinances.

  Slip arm through harness strap and onto shoulder, then 

repeat for the other shoulder. Adjust the straps to a 
comfortable position. Refer to 

Adjusting Harness Straps

 

earlier in this manual. Remove unit for starting. 

  The unit should be operated on the operator’s right side 

as shown.

  Start the blower. Refer to 

Starting and Stopping

 earlier 

in this manual. 

  To keep from scattering debris, blow around the outer 

edges of a debris pile. Never blow directly into the center 
of a pile.

  Operate power equipment at reasonable hours only — 

not early in the morning or late at night when people 
might be disturbed. Comply with the times listed in local 
ordinances.

  To reduce sound levels, limit the number of pieces of 

equipment used at any one time.

  Operate blower at the lowest possible speed to do the job.

  Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris before blowing. 

In dusty conditions, slightly dampen surfaces when water 
is available.

  Conserve water by using power blowers instead of hoses 

for many lawn and garden applications, including areas 
such as gutters, screens, patios, grills, porches, and 
gardens.

  Watch out for children, pets, open windows, or freshly 

washed cars, and blow debris safely away.

OPERATION

TO INSTALL/REMOVE BATTERY PACKS

See Figure 7.

The blower has active battery ports on the left and right 
side of the motor housing. Only one battery pack needs to 
be installed for operation. If two battery packs are installed, 
each time the blower is turned on, it will pull energy from 
the battery pack with the most charge.

 WARNING:

Always remove battery packs from your tool when you are 
assembling parts, making adjustments, cleaning, or when 
not in use. Removing battery packs will prevent accidental 
starting that could cause serious personal injury.

To install:

 

Place a battery pack in the blower. Align the raised rib on 
the battery pack with groove in the blower’s battery port. 

 WARNING:

Make sure the latch on the bottom of the battery pack 
snaps in place and the battery pack is fully seated and 
secure in the blower battery port before beginning 
operation. Failure to securely seat the battery pack could 
cause the battery pack to fall out, resulting in serious 
personal injury.

NOTICE:

When placing battery pack in the tool, be sure raised rib 
on battery pack aligns with the bottom of the tool and 
latches into place properly. Improper installation of the 
battery pack can cause damage to internal  components.

 

Repeat process to install second battery pack.

To remove:

 

Locate the latches on the bottom of the battery packs 
and depress to release the battery packs from the blower. 

 WARNING:

Battery tools are always in operating condition. Therefore, 
switch should always be in the OFF position when not 
in use or carrying at your side. Remove battery packs 
when transporting or carrying blower to avoid accidental 
starting, which could result in serious injury.

For complete charging instructions, see the operator’s 
manuals for your battery packs and charger.
